The "Balluminaria" Fest!

Every year Cincinnati hosts a hot air balloon festival, and today was the day this year! :-) Fortunately for me, this event occurs at the lake at the bottom of my street (the lake in the photos I posted a few weeks back).

So, my flatmate Melissa, Melissa's boyfriend, and I, decided to wander down the hill approximately 2 minutes before it began. As soon as we turned the corner, there were swarms of people everywhere, a million cars parked all up the banks, and the roads around the flat gridlocked with still-standing traffic!!

Needless to say we were very glad for the 2 minute walk back home again. :-)
